Ronaldo-Less Portugal Suffer Nations League Hammering at Hands of Denmark
Denmark’s victory featured goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rasmus Hojlund, while Portugal suffered its heaviest home loss in a competitive match.
- On Saturday, Portugal suffered their heaviest home loss in a competitive match, falling 4-1 to Denmark in their first game since Cristiano Ronaldo retired from international football.
- The 41-year-old superstar retired last week following a 30-day suspension by the Portuguese football federation after a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over team selection.
- Denmark dominated the contest, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg converting a 43rd-minute penalty, Rasmus Hojlund adding two goals in the 50th and 57th minutes, and Joachim Andersen heading in a fourth in the 75th.
- Despite the loss, Portugal has already secured qualification for the next phase and will travel to Cardiff next Tuesday to face Wales, while Denmark moves into second place in Group A4.
- "There are no nights to forget; it was a night of learning," Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes said, as fans at the Municipal Stadium of Braga whistled during the dismal defeat.
